TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Approaching alcohol problems through local environmental interventions JO - Alcohol research and health A1 - Treno, A. J. A1 - Lee, J. P. SP - 35 EP - 40 VL - 26 IS - 1 N2 - One approach for reducing alcohol and other drug problems is community-based prevention programs. These programs focus on changing the environment in which a person consumes alcohol rather than the behavior of the individual drinker. Several international and U.S. programs have assessed the effectiveness of such approaches in reducing alcohol-related problems. Some of those analyses have had inconclusive results. Others, however, found reductions in alcohol-related problems such as drunk driving, alcohol-related car crashes and their consequences, the sale of alcohol to underage drinkers, and assault injuries. Nevertheless, several aspects of community-based prevention programs require further study.
